“Key and Cue, No. 1270: IS HEAVEN A PHYSICIAN?” is a sculpture created by Roni Horn in 2005. The artwork belongs to the Minimalism art movement and exemplifies the genre of sculpture.
The artwork consists of a vertically positioned, slender rod leaning against a white wall. The phrase “IS HEAVEN A PHYSICIAN?” is inscribed in bold, black letters along its length. This minimalist piece invites introspection through its stark simplicity and direct textual inquiry, typical of the Minimalism movement’s goal to prompt deep contemplation with minimalistic elements. The clean lines and understated presence make it a striking and thought-provoking piece in any space it inhabits.
